Everyone's favourite aliens from the Planet Zog are on their way back to RTÉ, as Zig and Zag prepare to unleash a brand new animated show.
Screening on RTÉjr, there'll be more than a little bit of nostalgia involved for parents, as the terrible twosome begin the 26-episode run on March 1.
“Supporting Irish animation is hugely important to RTÉ and we’re delighted to have Zig and Zag debut on RTÉjr," said Sheila de Courcy, Channel Controller of RTÉjr. "Our viewers’ parents grew up with the original alien brothers and Double Z, Flickerpix and Jam Media have replicated the fun and mayhem for children today in a super new animation. Zig and Zag is the perfect opportunity for parents and children to watch TV together and share a laugh at tea-time. We’ve scheduled the series for 5.45pm on weekday evenings and I’m confident it will become part of the evening routine for many families.”
Zig, for the record, proffered: “Having your own animation series means you can go home and watch yourself on television without being actually in the television…I think? Ow! That’s making my head hurt!”
